the simple life
Yard Farmer
Anyone have any experience with these?
I have the old orginal well in the backyard from way back when.
I would like to put it back into working order. There is no pump or anything like that, they use to just use the buckets.
I am assuming I wouldn't have far to dig either since they had water there at one time.
Now, here is the thing, an artesian well is a huge investment, very expensive and I am not sure if its worth it.
I would not be doing it right now if at all, but just trying to figure out how much better they are than your typical well with an electric pump would be.
I believe you can drink this water and do just whatever you need with it. Which in the long run would save me a ton of money.
Water is very expensive in my town and I pay over $2000.00 a year for it. Most of it goes towards the sewer bill, they charge you for sewarge fees even if you aren't using the sewar system.
Say you want to water your garden or fill the kiddie pool, they base your sewerage fees on your water usage.
I have a huge problem with this.
So anyway, weighing my options, would love some input.
